The Overview
It's an exciting time to be building an app for discovering and attending live events. We think going to live events is a source of real human happiness—and we want to make it easier.

SeatGeek launched on Android in November of 2013. We've come a long way since that release.

  • We started using RxJava as early adopters on Android
  • We brought in Dagger for dependency injection. Then, we replaced it two years later with Dagger 2
  • We added the ability to save events and track performers
  • We made it simple to buy, transfer, and sell tickets
  • We rebranded, and went 100% material design
  • We added a fun feature for discovering events based on the music you're currently listening to
It's safe to say we've done a lot in the past few years… but we're not slowing down. We've started the journey of improving event discovery, while also ramping up on our commitment to have the best maps in the industry (which means working on our mapping infrastructure at every layer, including in our apps).

Mobile is a huge focus for us. Our Android app already has over a million downloads. We're building something that's purposefully, willfully for Android, through and through. We want to define sports and music on the platform, and we're hoping you can help.






  • Working on major components and new features of the SeatGeek Android app
  • Working with the SeatGeek design & product folks to build an experience that stands out among the best Android interfaces
  • Working with components such as Dagger and RxJava
  • Building key architectural pieces to make development more efficient, fun, and pragmatic
  • Helping us modularize our application, making different aspects of the app isolated, tested, and reusable—both within the SeatGeek app and within other apps on the Play Store
  • Iterating on and testing new variants of features to ensure we're delivering the best experience to users, based on actual usage



What We're Looking For


  • Someone who cares about building experiences that are used and loved by millions
  • Someone with a passion for trying and building innovative things
  • Someone with prior Android experience (2+ years) and app(s) in the Google Play Store
  • Someone with a passion for live events, regardless of if it's concerts, theater, sports, or all of them
  • Someone who—ideally—has some (or masterful) experience with RxJava+Android

An Insider's view of SeatGeek

What are some social events your company does?

The importance of gathering is baked into our DNA at SeatGeek! We always take time to celebrate milestones together, whether in person or virtually, and, while we throw an amazing End of Year party, my favorite events are a little more personal! We empower employees to create their own social events from fitness classes to crafting or or tv nights!

Erin

Workplace & People Programs Manager

What projects are you most excited about?

An ongoing project I am excited about is the redesign of one of the core flows in our app. It is a high impact, cross functional initiative and I love how we’ve been able to implement a new technical foundation, introduce new features, and improve the user experience. I’m looking forward to the initial release and gathering insights from consumers!

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

We encourage teams to solve problems and create delightful customer experiences, not implement pre-defined solutions. Our teams leverage research/data to understand our customers needs and behaviors, but we also believe that giving teams the space to be creative during a discovery phase opens the possibilities of what they can come up with.

Director, Portfolio Management
